Taskbar appearing when full screening videos

[Techy]

Whenever I go into full screen on any video source (Youtube, VLC, etc.), whether in-browser or not, the taskbar appears and blocks the bottom unless I auto-hide it. Usually it opens a separate program when I go full screen, like flash player. Anyone have suggestions to fix it?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Just had to restart explorer.exe

this happens with me in VLC, i just click the taskbar and then click on the video and it disappears
